The Indiana Boys School Herald. VOL. XXII. NO. 34. PLAINFIELD, INDIANA. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1933. $1.50 PER YEAR. Miss McCullough's Program Very Good. Wayne Jackson, Company Nine, Presented Silk American Flag. Miss McCullough's program which was given last Sunday proved to be success. Her program was very short and consisted of some six recitations and the usual songs and selections by the band. The way this program was given proved that great care had been taken in selecting the boys as well as the pieces for this program. The program started out as usual with the band playing a selection. This time it was "The Booster," which was enjoyed by all. The pledge came next, said by the boys of the school, with Don Young, the bearer of the American Flag, leading. The opening song was No. 255, "Ring The Bells of Heaven." The first recitation was by Russel Morris and was entitled, "I'm Going To Run Away." This theme seemed to get on the minds of all the boys, for when the next speaker, Lewis Bush started his recitation his opening remark was, "I am going to run away." Perhaps he was thinking pretty hard about it. He soon recovered himself, however, and gave us all some much-needed pointers on "Keeping Cool." George Vranesevich was the next declaimer to be heard and he gave a piece about as long as his name which was entitled, "Your Share." Next in the way of entertainment we were treated by a trombone solo by John Arnold. The name of his selection was, "The Beautiful Garden of Prayer", and was a truly beautiful piece. Arnold surely knows what to do with that trombone. We would like to hear him about every Sunday. Upon resuming the recitations we found that Robert Shahan was the next to be heard from. He gave us a recitation entitled "Standing By." We all enjoyed this recitation very much. Leonard Ambler told us of and described "The Town Called 'Don't You Worry." The last recitation on the program was given by William Frame. It was entitled "September Shoes". The weekly cadet record showed Company Two had a clear record for the week. Wayne Jackson, Company Nine, was sixty-five weeks clear. Through some oversight he was not given his silk flag when he reached the 52 week mark, so he was presented with one on Sunday. The closing song was "God Will Take Care of You." After saluting while the band played the "Star Spangled Banner," the boys marched out of the chapel and to their respective barracks. The program was: "The Booster" - Band; Pledge - School; Song No. 255, "Ring the Bells of Heaven" - School; I'm Going to Run Away - Rus. Morris; Keeping Cool - Lewis Bush; Your Share - George Vranesevich; Trombone Solo - "Beautiful Garden of Prayer" - John Arnold and Band; Standing By - Robert Shahan; The Town Called "Don't You Worry" - Leonard Ambler; September Shoes - William Frame; Weekly Cadet Record - Dr. Dill; Song No. 56, "God Will Take Care of You" - School; "Star Spangled Banner" - Band; March - School & Band; Afternoon Chapel Services at 1:30. PAUL FIELDS, BROTHER OF OFFICER, HURT IN WRECK. On the night of Sunday, September 24, Mr. Paul Fields, brother of Mr. Clifford Fields, our storekeeper, met with an unfortunate accident. The car he was driving developed an unexplainable affection for a tree and Mr. Fields was severely injured. When taken to the hospital it developed that he had a concussion of the brain. His condition was regarded serious for a while but he is now on the road to recovery and is progressing nicely. He expects to be able to be around in a few weeks. Mr. Clifford Fields New Storeroom Man Replaces Mr. Martin, But Has Not Been Assigned To Company Work. Another change has been made in the roster of the employees of the school. Mr. John Martin, storekeeper, was replaced on September 20 by Mr. Clifford Fields, of Plainfield. Mr. Fields is 27 years old, and is unmarried. This is the first institutional work of this kind that he has done. Mr. Fields has been a resident of Plainfield all of his life and remembers many things about the school, things that happened when he was a boy. Mr. Fields says that he plans to re-arrange things in the storeroom a soon as his supplies that he has ordered comes in. In looking through the storeroom he has found many old things which have no use now. There are many old style caps there that were worn about 35 years ago. He intends to get rid of all of these unnecessary articles if it is possible for him to do so. He will try to get rid of all the O.D. material, also, as it is no longer used here. Company work will be part of his job in the future. Just now he is in Company Three, with Mr. Roark, observing how a company is run so that he might have one of his own. The paroled boys will be fitted out in suits of their own choice, as they have been doing in the past. The storeroom has many good suits which will be given out. Mr. Fields intends to take an inventory of the stock at the first of every month and will know at all times just what he has and how much of each article he has. MR. AND MRS. F. D.
